Solution
Nextflow
Build reproducible, scalable pipelines for genetic data processing with consistent software environments and improved standardization.
Seqera
Gain centralized visibility into run histories, resource usage, and provenance to ensure traceability and compliance at scale.
Cloud Services
Store genetic data securely on compliant cloud infrastructure, enables safe collaboration across distributed teams and partners.
Results
Sano Genetics moved their most costly and time-intensive pipelines to Seqera, where comprehensive run history, provenance tracking, and resource monitoring are centralized. This implementation delivered dramatic benefits, including a 9-fold reduction in lab-to-finished-result time, and automated workflow management that eliminated manual intervention. Standardized containerized pipelines reduced variability and errors across projects, while delivering 100% traceability for compliance readiness. The time savings freed scientific teams to focus on innovation, accelerating precision medicine development and clinical trial efficiency.

About
Sano Genetics is a 360° platform designed to accelerate precision medicine by making it easier to run genetic testing studies and engage patients in clinical trials. Finding, screening and supporting patients for DNA-based research is often slow, complex, and fragmented, leading to higher costs and delays in developing life-changing treatments.
Sano brings all of these steps together in one seamless system: from study websites and participant recruitment to saliva kit logistics, DNA sequencing, genetic counselling, and long-term participant engagement. This “all-in-one” approach ensures that researchers can launch and manage programs more efficiently, while patients benefit from a clear and supportive experience. Sano partners with leading pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic groups to power studies ranging from rare diseases to large-scale population genomics.
